The Octagon returns to Florida for today’s UFC Jacksonville event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by Josh Emmett vs. Ilia Topuria.
Emmett (18-3 MMA) will enter the contest looking to rebound, this after suffering a submission loss to Yair Rodriguez in a bout for the promotion‘s interim featherweight title back in February. Prior to that setback, the 38-year-old American had put together a five-fight win streak, which included knockouts victories over Michael Johnson and Mirsad Bektic.
Meanwhile, Ilia Topuria (13-0) will be looking to keep his perfect record intact this afternoon in Florida. ‘El Matador’ has gone 5-0 since joining the UFC ranks, his most recent victory coming by way of submission over Bryce Mitchell last December.
UFC Jacksonville is co-headlined by a women’s flyweight matchup featuring Amanda Ribas taking on Maycee Barber.
Ribas (12-3) most recently competed at March’s UFC 285 event, where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Viviane Araujo. The Brazilian has gone 3-2 over her past five Octagon appearances overall.
Meanwhile, Maycee Barber (12-2 MMA) will enter the contest boasting a four-fight win streak. ‘The Future’ most recently competed back in March of this year, earning a split decision victory over Andrea Lee.
